Is salary protection = permanent health insurance?

    And if so, is there a tax credit for it?

    TIA

    Yes.

    There is tax relief at your marginal rate, yes.

    Out of curiosity, is life assurance relief available in a similar manner?

    No tax relief on normal MPP / life policy.

    BUT

    My employer offers additional optional life cover, on top of what is in the work pension.

    Work pension = 1x-1.5x death in service

    Optional extra = 2.5x salary if you die in service, and as it is under an AVC arrangement, tax relief is available
